            Luke 18:9-17

9 Jesus told a story to some people who thought they were better than others and who looked down on everyone else. 10 “Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector. (Despised because they made their living collecting taxes for Rome!) 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’ 13 The tax collector stood off at a distance and did not so much as look up to heaven, but prayed, "God, have pity on me! I am such a sinner!"  (I’m such a flawed individual! I mess things up. I sabotage myself!  Our human condition. But Christ Crucified appeases our guilty conscience - we know we are flawed whether we acknowledge it consciously or not.. God made us with a fragile psyche..? An offshoot of thinking ability plus heart? A good pair! One without the other can’t work out well! Surely?) 14 Then Jesus said, "When the two men went home, it was the tax collector and not the Pharisee who was pleasing to God, was forgiven and accepted. If you put yourself above others, you will be put down. But if you humble yourself, you will be honored."

     15 One day some parents brought their little children to Jesus so he could bless them. But when the disciples saw this, they scolded the parents for bothering him. 16 Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 17 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child cannot enter in.”

       ~ Galatians 1:6-12 ~

6 I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God! Who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ. You are following a different message that pretends to be the Good News! 7 Which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! (Actually cause and effect!) 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse! (Thankfully it’s GOD’s curse.. so there’s abundant hope! “Joy comes in the morning.”) 10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. 11 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. [Another version - “is not based on mere human reasoning” or, “was not devised by man.”] 12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
